What are the best practices for ensuring that at least one checkbox is checked in a PHP form?

To ensure that at least one checkbox is checked in a PHP form, you can use JavaScript to validate the form before submission. This can be done by checking if at least one checkbox is checked before allowing the form to be submitted. This can help prevent the form from being submitted without any checkboxes being selected. 

<script>
function validateForm() {
    var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
    var isChecked = false;

    checkboxes.forEach(function(checkbox) {
        if (checkbox.checked) {
            isChecked = true;
        }
    });

    if (!isChecked) {
        alert('Please select at least one checkbox');
        return false;
    }
}
</script>

<form action="submit.php" onsubmit="return validateForm()">
    <input type="checkbox" name="option1" value="1"> Option 1<br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="option2" value="2"> Option 2<br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="option3" value="3"> Option 3<br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
